Missouri Car Accident Lawyer Discusses Soft Tissue Injury Claims

Rear-end car accidents, broadside car accidents, and head-on car accidents can all cause catastrophic personal injuries and serious property damage.  But what about those injuries that are considered "soft-tissue"?  The insurance company that insures the negligent driver will be the first to argue that soft-tissue injuries are not serious, not disabling, and not permanent.  Don't be fooled, soft-tissue injuries can in fact be all three of these.  Strains, sprains, and contusions can be felt for weeks, months, and years following a serious car accident.  If you have suffered any of these injuries contact a Missouri car accident lawyer immediately.  Otherwise, face being victimized for a second time....this time by the defendant's insurance company.

Soft tissue injury claims that can be especially serious include disc bulges, disc herniations, and disc ruptures.  In this circumstance, the spine is damaged in the car accident to an extent that causes the disc matter within the spine to be displaced, resulting in radiating pain in the upper and/or lower extremeties, otherwise known as "radiculopathy."  Radicular pain can also cause debilitating headaches, resulting in the inability of the injury victim to concentrate on work or much else.  Injury victims may eventually be left with no other alternative other than surgical intervention.

Soft tissue injuries can also be sustained in a truck accident claim, however, more serious life-threatening injuries commonly result from tractor-trailer type crashes.  Claims for lost wages, past and future medical bills, emotional distress, and pain & suffering may all be filed against the negligent driver in order to obtain fair compensation.  Contact a Missouri injury lawyer at (866) 840-3636 to discuss how to properly make your car accident injury claim or truck accident injury claim.
